People here who are made feel inadequate by Grace and her shite - STOP! you are doing really well, you're being responsible and living within your means. Your kids will appreciate it and understand it when they are older.
Grace is fur coat no knickers - she is trying to give the impression of having money by buying small high end things. Things from expensive brands that she can afford, barely, to give the impression of wealth and make herself feel superior. Its all an act to make herself feel better and you feel worse - she is trying to portray an "aspirational" life but if you scratch the surface its a sad superficial life and she seems very unhappy.
